I look out to them storage sheds
From a hill's café sign
I wait out for the mariachi band
As they practice in the night
They ain't got no power you know
Them sheds got one single light
But two fifty foot extensions
Gonna make everything alright.
And so they played
They played
We get pretty good rain out here you know
Every once in awhile
A great big blue northern sings in
Like a Chris Ledeoux lullaby
It ain't like old Spofford where that dry air
Makes the lightning flash so bright
We wait for the fires
Cause these nights of Austin, just fade in and out
It's like I never see no daylight in this town
Hill country rain falls on sweet southern ground
And when I finally see daylight in this town
I'm washed away
You look out to the skyline
From Riverside Drive
One of them buildings stares back at you
Like a barn own in disguise
6th street and old Neches for a cigarette
A good friend of mine
He'll sing Neil Young
He puts on a smile and closes his eyes
And he sings hey hey, my my
Rock and Roll will never die.
Cause these nights of Austin just fade in and out
It's like I never see no daylight in this town
A street poet plays his sweet southern sound
And when I finally see daylight in this town
I'm washed away.
Cause these nights of Austin just fade in and out
It's like I never see no daylight in this town
